Paris, Librairie des Arts décoratifs A. Calavas, 1902. Folio (41.5 x 30.0 cm - visible part), framed (67.5 x 47.5 cm). Pochoir print finished by hand. In passepartout and wooden frame.

A fine Art Nouveau or Jugendstil plate, showing "Tulipes", drawn and engraved by the French Art Deco painter and entomologist Émile Allain Séguy (1877-1951) (not to be confused with the French dipterologist Eugène Séguy). The complete work consists of two types of plates: illustrations of plants and flowers, and illustrations of their application in decorative art. This plate is of the first type. This work is very rare and even single plates are rarely seen. Some light, even age-toning, otherwise very good. Schneider-Henn, Ornament und Dekoration, 273 and p. 48.
